To the Classes
The passing years bring in their wake
A line, both long and wide,
Ot girls from o'er this nation dear
To their Alma Mater's side.
The East, the West, the North and South
Contribute full share to her roll.
See here what schoolgirl vanities, displayed in the mirror's face!
A pleasing reflection, 'tis true, with ruffles and dainty lace;
But the procession keeps on with relentless tread
Till the year rolls by.
And the time is nigh
When she enters the Junior dominion with dread.
O. little maid, your curly hair
Will soon be braided up!
And gone will be your doll and slate
For things you deem grow-n up.
The Junior, bent and dried and sear —
A sight one's heart to rend —
Is burdened with study, a " P " her fear.
To be a Senior her end.
A thousand duties, a score of studies.
The hours beguile away.
The Freshman year, so soon begun.
Fades swiftly into that day
When across the space of a three-months' wait
She sees the Sophomore land.
We see her. upon nearer view,
A spirit, yet a woman, too;
.A. countenance in which did meet
Sweet records, promises as sweet;
A creature not too bright or good
To sip from Cupid's immortal food.
TH E C LASS ES'
To the Junior Class
O, Junior Class, we're leaving now, 0, very bright your future leads
New trails henceforth to follow; To the door of the great Ward-Belmont;
But the Seniors' wish remember thou: But in your glory, the Senior pleads:
Forget not our Alma Mater. Forget not our Alma JIater.
In joy, in pleasure, and everything
(May sorrow be ever distant)
In all the change that life may bring,
O, forget not our Alma Mater!

AS A SENIOR APPEARS
TO A PRIMARY,
TO HER TEACHER,
TO HERSELF-
The Sublimation of a Senior An Explanatory Exposition
'^[i /'AVING arrived on the scene of this world's
'I L activities, the small girl is the material in
the rough, the crude elements out of which
the perfect woman is made. For this process, years of
growth and cultivation are necessary, supplemented by
that careful training for which Ward Seminary is so
justly celebrated. As soon as the subject's faculties
begin to assert themselves, comes the knowledge that
this perfection can be attained only through the train-
ing at this institution.
Accordingly, at the tender age of seven, when she is
most susceptible to learning and most capable of receiv-
ing mental impressions, she is planted within the pri-
marj' walls of Ward, under the guidance of that excel-
lent trainer. Miss McD., where her restless hands and
feet are made to obey her mind and the first tiny seeds
of " reading, writing, and "rithmetic " are sown. So
carefully are these first stages taken that the firmly
planted bulbs of learning take root, and soon the devel-
oping child finds herself in the second stage of gi-o%\'th.
This part of her development is made under the same
general guidance as the preceding. One other factor,
however, is added. She first begins to seek light in the
hotbed of the school, the general assembly room^ or
chapel, as it is sometimes called. There, by precept and
example, is she taught the way in which she should go.
At this time there is much judicious pruning of all hab-
its that are injurious or that would dwarf the culmina-
tion of a perfect specimen, such as whispering and gig-
gling. It has been found that if these habits remain
unmolested they will cause trouble later on. All the
most noted educators of this century agree in this.
Now comes one of the most important stages, the
Freshman year, which needs careful watching and in-
finite patience, for the yet crude forces seem at times
obdurate beyond endurance. The formula, with which
the tender green sprouts, seeking room in which to
spread their increasing tendrils, are sprayed, is a com-
pound of English, 45'yr ; Algebra, 57t- ; Latin, 20% ;
History, 27%; and fresh air and sunshine, 3%. This
mixture is applied daily in rather large, unbroken
doses. Daily also is fresh dirt added.
The fourth year, or Sophomore period, is spent
mainly jj^ close proximity to others. Some of the ob-
noxious weeds observed at this time are classed under
the general head of " Boys." Commonly kno^^^^ divi-
sions of this head are dancing, clothes, and a general
tendency to Fifth Avenue. The pruning knife may be
used here with impunity, especially in a particularly
hard case. The formula is practically the same, with
perhaps the addition or substitution of 10% French.
Algebra, being of less real value to the material devel-
opment of the student, is the substance usually omitted.
Here it is that the unfolding petals first come in con-
tact with that element called " spiking." Unless the
subject is of hardy fiber, this contact somewhat retards
its finest growth. This last-named element, though
rare in most localities, is found in abundance in Ward
Seminary, where it is seen at its best. It is hard and
has a peculiarly brilliant luster. The foi'emost scentists
of the day have found no way to combat it.
In the Junior stage, the subject, almost ready to
burst into flower, is put through the rigid tests of the
refinery, intercourse with the outside world, that she
may know just what is expected of her the succeeding
year. Although this tends to force the bloom, no harm
follows. A liberal sprinkling of dictionary words
(Webster's is an old and tried variety) curbs the fast-
est development; and a few tests, applied monthly, or
oftener if needed, will insure strict attention to detail
work. It is during this period that the nearly ripe
product begins to recognize undue power by striving to
loiter unnecessarily on the gallery ; and, having during
all these years suffered the crush of the upper class-
men's yoke of superiority, she, in turn, develops a
slightly patronizing attitude toward undergraduates.
This, however, soon passes away, leaving the chrysalis
to emerge into the last stage of her growth.
0, the importance and prominence which is expe-
rienced here! Only those fortunate ones like herself
can sympathize with her. What meetings and discus-
sions ! What lofty and impressionable ideals revealed !
All her faculties are constantly exercised. She is the
observed of all observers. She is in the lime light al-
ways, and invariably shows the result of her long years
of training. The last refining, the last acid test, is
given with the infliction of the " Iris." Those who sur-
vive this test are indeed ready to be plucked, perfect
blooms! Thus, and only thus, is achieved the Senior
sublime.
This is the class, noisy, stiff-necked, and proud.
Vain, simpering, very foolish, and loud.
The reason z^-e stand them, x^'e z^ish to say.
Is for the sake of the tea they g-ivc earlv in May.

ESOLVED, That ice cream should be served
at 11: 30 every morning instead of serving
the usual chapel exercises." (Affirmative.)
I. Introduction.
A.
1. Ice cream has always been served as
food and sustenance to the civilized
races of mankind.
2. Ice cream consists of harmless and
nourishing ingredients, which the
genealogists say cause it to be one of
the most nen'e-inspiring and bluff-
infusing foods catalogued.
B. Chapel exercises and ice cream defined.
1. Chapel exercises, as partaken of at
Ward, consist of a few hymns gar-
nished by a responsive reading, and a
spicy talk dished out by Dr. Landrith.
2. Ice cream, as it would be served, would
consist of one dish, evenly appor-
tioned, to every girl in chapel.
II. Immaterial Issues.
It is granted by all —
1. At this hour pupils need something to
uplift and inspire them, and enthuse
them with the incarnation of knowl-
edge, and should receive that which
will benefit them most, physically,
mentally, and morally.
III. Material Issues.
1. Ice cream is more beneficial than chapel
exercises in three ways — namely,
physically, mentally, and morally.
IV. Proof.
One of the famous poets has said, " Eat, drink,
and be merry," and it is a very wise
motto to follow.
A. Physically. 1. Ice cream can be calmly
eaten reposing in a seat, while chapel
exercises require gjnnnastic perform-
ances and standing straight through
an entire hymn, thus unnecessarily
causing more weariness to the already
burdened and fatigued pupils.
B. Mentally. 1. The mind should be strong
and obtuse, even obdurate, in order to
cope with and overcome the incom-
parable and extenuating circum-
stances, reaching the limit which the
required course of study demands of
all individuals who have the audacity
to contemplate a course at Ward.
C. Morally. 1. Ice cream, as it would be
served, would always be cool and of
even temperature, whereas the talks
dished out by Dr. Landrith are not al-
ways cool or of even temperature.
Thus the moral rectitude is adminis-
tered unto and aided by cool ice cream.
V. Conclusion.
1. Each girl will have her own appor-
tioiied share of cool, refreshing ice
cream, eaten while reclining in her
seat; whereas Dr. Landrith occasion-
ally favors one girl with a large sup-
ply of advice, sometimes heated,
mixed with some sarcasm, and we all
feel that too much of the delicacies is
injurious.
Therefore we, of the affirmative side, hold, retain,
argue, declare, and have proven to you that " ice cream
should be served at 11 : 30 every morning instead of
serving the usual chapel exercises."

A Period in Chapel JVhen Miss Jennings Is Out
♦«^-^ES, Miss Atchison, you may change your seat,
^L/ if the draft is too strong. Janey, she isn't in
0^ chapel. No, Sara, you may not use the tele-
phone."
With these parting instructions. Miss Jennings left
chapel to join the Juniors, who were organizing their
class. It seemed as if Miss Jennings was going to for-
get to repeat her usual admonition, " Girls, don't get
noisy while I am gone; " but no, she had hardly reached
the door, when she turned to impress it upon them
doubly strong by referring to the Honor Guild and her
little book.
For a moment the school was remarkably quiet ; then
a sigh was heard, a groan, followed by these words:
" Honeybunch, please go up to Tony's for me. I am
absolutely famished. Honestly, I don't believe I ever
have been so long without something to eat."
" Not if I value my life! I never do have any luck;
and just as sure as I start stealing up to Tony's, I'll
meet Miss Massey or run across Mr. Schmidt. He al-
days looks at you so hard. No, sir-ee! Not for mine! "
" O, well, I guess I'm doomed, unless that little
Freshie can be persuaded to go ! Cutie, you're the most
adorable child in school. Please run up to Tony's with
this order. That's it! You are an angel ! "
The " cute little Freshi". " started out on her danger-
ous errand, and returned five minutes later, panting for
breath and laden with ten bags of peanuts. For per-
haps five minutes the famished bunch of girls was
quiet, all being engaged in eating the salty nuts as fast
as possible. Then a rather fat girl was heard to re-
mark : " 0, me ! I never can get enough peanuts, but
really I must stop and start on this French. Five pages
to translate, and only one paragraph finished! What
will become of me? "
" Goodness ! " exclaimed the girl across the aisle.
" You are lots better off than I am. I translated a page
last night; but, to save my soul, I can't remember one
word of it. I certainly hope Mademoiselle asks me to
translate on the first page, because I can make a stag-
ger at that."
"Mary, Mary! What on earth are you doing? I
never saw any one so perfectly absorbed in a book. It
must be the ' Romance of Billy-Goat Hill ' that I lent
you last night. What! Only Algebra? Honestly,
Mary, you will be a saint some day. I worked on that
last night an hour by the clock, and I couldn't get a
single problem. Of course, I will admit, I talked a lit-
tle, consumed a bag of Skalowski's caramels, and — yes,
I did read the joke page of the Ladies' Home Journal,
too."
"Janet, I am absolutely consumed with fear. A
Latin text next period, and I haven't opened a book!
Heavens, look at that clock! 0, that reminds me! I
knew I had something to tell you. I went " beaning "
yesterday, and met Mr. Brown. Janet, that man is too
attractive for words. ' Fascinating ' isn't in it. He is
absolutely hypnotizing."
"Mr. Brown!" exclaimed a slim, red-haired girl.
" George Brown? My dear, I'm crazy about him! "
" George Brown? " said a tall Senior, as she stuck
her head into the circle. " My children, you don't know
a thing. He is perfectly dull compared to that cute Mr.
Hunt, who steals around here every night and talks to
the girls in front of No. — "
Here the discussion would have become heated, had
not one of the girls remembered that she had just loads
of work to do.
" Helen," she said, as she drew away, " what will
become of us? Themes to write nearly every day, and
just piles of other stuff besides! Just think — Miss
Lawrence gave us a theme, two descriptions to write,
ten pages of Rhetoric, an outline, and about fifty de-
scriptive words to bring to class ! O, dear me ! I
haven't gotten a line of any of it, and that clock is cer-
tainly pointing to ten ! Say, Helen, what would you
leave out? The theme? I just can't write, but I can
make an excuse for that ; but those words — she will be
sure to call on me for them ! I guess I will try and get
those descriptions and take a chance on that Rhetoric
work."
At ten minutes past, everything was quiet; for all
were expecting Miss Jennings to come, and they knew
too well about dictionary words to be behaving uproar-
ously when she returned.

don't eat, they say they are starving. While Mary says
her lessons, I stay in chapel. Sometimes I go with
Mary. In the middle of the day a whole lot of grown
ladies and two men come to chapel and sit on the stage.
I thought the.v wei'e all going to say a speech. But just
one man says anjiihing. One day he said that Ward
and Belmont, or something like that, were going to be
one school. I am going there when I get grown up.
Mary says she don't believe she likes it. Mary's room-
mate says she ain't going to come back. It's the most
fun to go to Mary's Algebra class. You just oughter
hear Miss Sheppe fuss. She sure can. One day I was
sitting in chapel waiting for Mary. Miss Jennings saw
a girl talk. She made the girl take a great big book.
She made her learn lots of words — about fifty, I reckon.
Every morning it nearly scares me to death. A great
big old bell just rings and rings. You just have to get
up. Let's you and me come to Ward when we get big.
I ain't going to have any old flags in my room. The
girls' rooms are most covered with them. Well, I have
to go now. Good-by. Elizabeth.
P.S. — Don't you and Billy have any more fights.
How is your sweetheart'? — E.

' I passed a beautiful garden,
On the fairest ot days in June,
Wtiere the sound of sweetest singing
Floated out in a gladsome tune.
I heard there the gardener telling
All the flowei-s to upward grow —
Violets sweet and lilies tall.
Which grew in a long, straight row.
And surely 'tis a noble truth
The gardener's lesson holds;
For the gardener was a woman.
And the flowers were little souls."

WARD lSi;5-1913
History of IVard Seminary
Dr. William E. Ward was among the
first men after the war to realize the
need for schools, and he decided to open
a school himself. After several years,
Mr. Byrd Douglas loaned him money.
Accordingly, the old Kirkiiian residence,
whose rooms were well adapted to dor-
mitory and study-hall purposes, was secured; and
there, in 1865, Ward Seminary " opened her doors for
the promulgation of higher education for young women
of the South." There were so many students enrolled
that in the following spring it was necessary to move,
and the school was transferred to Spruce Street, where
it stands to-day. The street was as quiet as a village
then, out of the hurry and bustle, with no street cars,
and, it is said, with no more disturbing midnight sound
than the tramp of the guard on the road to Fort Neg-
ley. But the soldier boys of yesterday may have been
just as fascinating as the Vanderbilt boys of to-day.
There were thirteen girls in the first graduating class,
including Miss Mattie Barnard (Mrs. John Gray).
The Bryant residence on Spruce
Street was a delightful place for a
school. Immediately in front of the
building was a large vacant lot. There
were inpumerable trees; and the long,
shaded walk is even now a refreshing
memory to former students. However,
Ward Seminary had an unconquerable habit of out-
growing itself — a malady from which it has never re-
covered. Soon the cry was made for room, more room ;
and gradually the surrounding buildings were an-
nexed. In the year 1870, according to Mr. Eaton, of
the Educational Bureau at Washington, D. C, this
school ranked third in the United States in numbers
aiid in advantages offered. The foremost school was
Packer Institute, Brooklyn; and the Convent of the
Sacred Heart, California, held second place. The Sem-
inary far surpassed all other schools in the number
and quality of curly locks. Miss Lizzie Fort, who is
now actively engaged in Ward alumnse work, gradu-
ated at this time.
tit was not until the death of the dis-
tinguished President in 1887 that Ward
Alumnse Association was founded. The
next April local graduates held a
meeting, at which steps were taken
for the organization, and circulars were
sent to all the out-of-town gradu-
ates. The association started in with the sum of one
hundred dollars in the treasury. Where they got it,
we are unable to say. The evening entertainment,
which followed the founding, was to welcome the new
graduating class. The parlors of the school were used
for the occasion, and there the pretty custom, which is
still kept up, of formally receiving the new members
was begun. Miss Florence Fite (Mrs. Hayden Dodd)
was among these twenty-four. It was probably fortu-
nate that there were no more than twenty-four, for we
fail to see how the stage could have held any more of
the voluminous costumes then worn.
Dr. Ward's successors were Mr. J.
T. Hancock and then Rev. E. H. Charles,
D.D. Mrs. Mary H. Robertson was
Principal of the Home Department dur-
ing all three administrations. At Christ-
mas of 1892, Dr. John Diell Blanton,
whose name has been to a later Ward
Seminary what Dr. Ward's name was to the former,
and a part of whose work in the institution has been
to keep alive in the hearts of the alumnse members the
deep-seated loyalty they cherish for the founder, be-
came President of the school. Just one year later Miss
Bell Jennings assumed control of the chapel, in which
office she has been all that could be desired. It was al-
most ten years after the first meeting that the reorgan-
ization of the Alumnse Association took place, when
" Ward Seminary Day " was observed at the Tennes-
see Centennial Exposition. Many, many gold-and-
white badges were scattered through the audience.
Miss Lelia Stetson (Mrs. Roger Smith) graduated the
year Dr. Blanton began his administration.
During the lifetime of the first Presi-
dent the school enjoyed holidays spent in
the woods on his birthdays. When Dr.
Blanton arrived, he did not give the
same days as holidays ; but he gave
them, nevertheless. Picnics at Craggie
Hope and in the city parks were not un-
usual. On the other hand, essays were not required of
the Seniors as previously. One record says of an early
class : " Commencement continued for three days, un-
til each of the forty-seven girls of the class had read
an essay prepared especially for the occasion." Per-
haps Dr. Blanton did not think the Seniors could
write essays any more, or perhaps he felt that their
friends could no longer stay awake for three days. At
this time was added a School of Expression, a School
of Physical Culture, and a Home Economics Depart-
ment. The accompanying picture is Miss Nell Fall
(Mrs. Avery Handly), who is now president of the
Alumnse Association.
During the last ten years Ward Semi-
nary has by no means stood still. Ward
Conservatory, with its numbers of voice,
violin, and piano pupils, has been added
on one side. Farther out, the old Mur-
phy Place, with its secret passages and
ghosts, was purchased, with the in-
tention of moving the school out. There has been not
enough room and too much noise and confusion on
Spruce Street. Ward Place has been used for a dormi-
tory for several years, the strongest and bravest girls
venturing out. Dr. Ira Landrith became President of
the institution last September; Dr. Blanton, Vice Presi-
dent and President of the Faculty. However, the
above-mentioned plan has been changed, or, rather,
new plans have been formed, as our readers know.
Therefore this Class of 1913, these thirty-seven girls,
will be the last class — the last Seniors — to graduate
from Ward Seminary. Miss Lillian Dobson is presi-
dent of this class.

Gold and W^hite
We're loyal to you, dear Ward:
Your colors so bright we love.
There's gold that's for beauty.
And white that's for duty.
T'ue students who wear these two, dear Ward,
All come from the East and South and West to Ward.
We know all the rest and like you best, dear Ward;
We'll love you forever, ever.
Then sing we all together
For white and gold and WARD.
O, college preps, who hope to know
All that the future dim can show,
Wear gold for beauty
And white for duty.
0, specials in music, gym., and art; O, girls,
Both Seniors and Juniors, sing your parts;
Wear your colors with loyal hearts!
We'll love you forever, ever.
Then sing we all together
For white and gold and WARD.

The bis
■^im^ HE very name, " iris," brings to our minds
L ^S thoughts of beauty and gladness. Before Na-
^^"^ ture spreads her green carpet beneath the
leafless trees, the little iris springs up, bringing with
it beauty and fragrance. This little herald comes to
announce to us, after months of wind and snow, the
approach of bright and sunshiny days ; but its name-
sake, " The Iris," is not a herald. Its voice will, in
after years, speak to us from its musty leaves and re-
mind us of all the pleasure and happiness that we, as
pupils of Ward Seminary, but more especially as the
Class of 1913, enjoyed at Ward.

The Great Revolution
■^i^^ HE great student revolution was on !
^■^ With white, strained faces, the Faculty sat
huddled together, awaiting the next dread
summons before the august Council of Thirteen. Oc-
casionally there penetrated from the chapel, where the
students were gathered, a stormy clamor, demanding
that this teacher or that teacher be placed next on trial
for high crimes and misdemeanors.
" I don't see why we can't have 'em all in at once and
just bunch 'em," penetrated one shrill, vicious voice.
" What's the use of wasting so much time? I've got a
date to go ' beaning ' at four o'clock."
" Me, too ! " cried a member of the Subf reshman
Grammar Class. " I got to go to a matinee of ' Busy
Izzy ' at the Bijou; and, believe me, I think we ought
to ' make hay while the sun shines.' "
" Ain't it the truth! " came a sjTnpathetic murmur.
" Well, then," said another, " why not just have
them all in and put them through the combined soror-
ity initiations ? "
The listening teachers shuddered.
At that moment the door opened.
" Miss Scruggs ! " Janie's voice summoned.
A murmur of compassion vibrated the group as, tot-
teringly, the beautiful young literature teacher rose
to her feet.
" Yes," she whispered, with dry lips.
" They want you next," said the messenger.
One of the Faculty whispered to another ; " I knew
they would have it out on her among the very first. It's
some of those Rhetoric pupils."
Again the door closed; again the awful silence, the
terror-stricken straining to hear, the gloom, lightened
only by one eight-candle, low-power electric lamp.
Out of the clamorous shadows came the voice of Miss
Jennings: " They are bad — just plain bad! There's no
other word for it ! "
There was a grunt behind her.
" Nonsense! " said Miss Ross. " It's just a part of
the degenerate up-side-down-ness of these modem
times. Now in the days of Pericles — "
Miss McDonald made a gesture with her hands.
" Well," she began, with decision, " nobody's asked my
opinion, but — "
" It seems to me," said Dr. Blanton, pausing in his
pacing up and dovm the floor, " that, with so many
women here, some successful resistance might be made.
What can four or five poor, helpless men do ? I remem-
ber that back in the days when men were supreme in
political authority and were the stronger vessels, it
would have been deemed incredible that such a calam-
ity could happen in our fair land — "
He stopped, chilled to silence by the cold, resentful
glances leveled at him. From outside came the roar of
a passing electric car, its gong clangorously opening a
passage as the motorwoman banged her heel. It
stopped an instant, and they could hear distinctly the
soft, polite voice of the lady conductor urging a gen-
tleman not to try to get off until she could precede and
assist him. Then came the " honk " of an automobile,
and through the blinds drifted the courteous tones of
the chauffeur as she solicitously pleaded with a gen-
tleman to go on across and not to be afraid; that she
would not move the car an inch further until he was
safely upon the opposite sidewalk.
The listening Faculty glared at Dr. Blanton.
"And you would have the human race go back to the
darkness of old conditions?" asked one, frostily; and
the Doctor, the politest and most kindly courteous man
in the world, eagerly solicited pardon for his unfortu-
nate recurrence to bygone and antiquated social condi-
tions.
"All the same," came the quiet, deep voice of Dr.
Landrith, " if I were just outside there and had a good
horse under me, I wouldn't be afraid of any revolution-
ary body, even boarding-school girls."
" Voire cheval," began Miss Herring, then whispered
an inquiry to Mademoiselle Cuendet : " Voulez-vous
give me the word for — "
"Je ne vous comprends pas," said the young French-
woman, with a shrug; " je ne parle pas Anglais."
The door opened.
" Next! " said Janie. " Miss McDuffie! "
With a low, heartrending cry, the little gray lady
staggered to the threshold.
" Tell me, Janie," she gasped, pleadingly. " What
about Miss Scruggs? Did they — did they — " She
could not speak further.
The stem-visaged monitor hesitated.
" I can't tell you anything. Miss McDuffie," she said,
" for they'll catch up with me."
"Just tell me this," gasped the other: " is she alive? "
Janie yielded a little before the eager, burning eyes.
The rest listened with frightened apprehension.
" She's alive all right," said Janie, " but — "
Her kind face looked sjinpathetically at the little sea
of white faces. She heaved a deep breath; then, al-
most closing the door, she whispered : " But she's got
to read Chaucer's ' Canterbury Tales,' Spenser's
' Faerie Queen,' and ' Harold the Last of the Saxon
Kings ' between now and to-morrow morning."
There was silence an instant. The little group, with
senses stunned, was unable to voice its terror and hor-
ror at this last intelligence. Then there was a low,
soft thud as Miss Morrison fell senseless from her
chair.
In a moment Mrs. Blanton had raised her head.
" Water," she said to Janie, " a glass of water! "
Janie shook her head. " I'm sorry, Mrs. Blanton,"
she said, " but you know water for drinking purposes is
no longer permitted by the council. I can get her some
Coca-Cola or some soda pop, but that's all. I believe,
though, that John is making a couple of barrels of choc-
olate nut sundffi, and perhaps that — "
"Never mind," said Miss Morrison, faintly; "I'm
better now."
" Perhaps," said Mr. Neth, gallantly, " a little fresh
air now — "
He moved resolutely toward one of the windows, but
was halted by a general murmur of alarm.
" Have you forgotten," said Miss Tennant, sharply,
" that teachers are not allowed to go to the windows? "
" Next! " came from the doorway. " Miss Smaill! "
The Expression teacher crossed the floor, and (low
be it spoken, girls!) she was very much out of poise.
She glanced about her, then elevated her chest and
took a deep breath. An instant later she had disap-
peared through the dread portal.
" 0-0-0 !" moaned Miss Sheppe, as her body shook
with sobs. " Why — 0, why? — did I give so many ' P's "
in grading? If I come out of this alive, never, never
will I give another! "
" You should have thought of that before," said Miss
Massey, sternly. "As for me, this has been a lesson,
and I'll never again mark any poor girl anjrthing but
' E.' "
Again the door opened, and then again and again.
At last every member of the Faculty had been sum-
moned before the dread council — all, save one.
Mrs. Blanton was left alone !
In the presence of the others she had kept up a
brave, stiff upper lip, inspiring all by her example of
smiling courage. Now, however, she became a prey to
her fears. With dread she recalled the permissions she
had refused to grant, the reprimands for offenses
against school rules. She recalled with a chill of de-
spair that the council before which she was to appear
was made up almost entirely of students who had at
some time been required to keep study hall or had been
chided for not wearing their uniforms when appearing
in public.
Shudderingly she listened as footsteps sounded in
the hall without. Then there were riiore footsteps.
Now they seemed to swell into the tramp of an army.
Above this noise arose the sound of chattering voices
and merry laughter.
She cowered into a corner. " They are coming for
me en masse.' " she whispered. " For what? " Then
a dreadful conjecture struck through her tortured
brain. " 0, no," she whispered. " They coidd not do
that; they would not be so heartlessly cruel! "
For of a sudden, like a bolt out of the blue, the awful
thought had come to her that they were going to make
her wear one of the new spring uniform hats.
"Anything but that," gasped the poor lady — " any-
thing! " She wrung her hands. " I just eo!(W not bear
that! I'll agree to anything else — compromise on any-
thing ! "
The noise of footsteps swelled louder. Meeting this
came a stream of girlish voices from the chapel.
"0, it's the Vanderbilt boys coming to tea!" she
heard. " 0, how perfectly lovely! "
Then, as she all but swooned, a hand fell upon her
shoulder and shook vigorously. She knew that her
hour had come.
The hand was still shaking, but it was against my
own shoulder.
" Here, wake up, you silly! " I heard my roommate
say. " If you want any brealcfast, you'll have to hurry.
Don't you hear the girls going downstairs? "
I sat up, rubbing my eyes.
" You must have been dreaming," said my roornmate,
laughing.
I smiled feebly. It seemed likely that I had.

Everyday Life
SCENE I. Twelve girls on a corner of the gallery
engaged in an animated discussion. Miss Jen-
nings enters, and a hushed expectancy falls over
the gay crowd.
Miss Jennings: " Well, girls, is this a social of
some kind, or merely an indignation meeting? None
of you had permission from me to loiter, and I don't
understand this at all. Go right to the chapel ! "
Scene II. The Chapel. Twelve girls bent industri-
ously over their books.
Miss J. (from her seat on the platform) : " Kath-
lene, come to me! "
Kathlene advances, with very evident reluctance, to
the platform, and, pulling up a chair, seats herself at
Miss J.'s side.
Miss J. : " Well, Kathlene, can you explain your con-
duct? No, not a H'orc/.' Your conduct explains itself ! "
Kathlene : " But, Miss Jennings — "
Miss J. : " That will do. I said ' not a word.' Take
twenty dictionary words, and be glad to escape so
lightly. You may go. No, I've changed my mind.
Take forty words, for this is the second time you have
misbehaved this week."
Kathlene sighs, but realizes that ' such is life ' in
Ward Seminary.
Miss J.: " Mary, come here! I didn't think this of
you, Mary; for I've always looked upon you as one of
my best girls. I'm finding out about quite a few of
you girls. None of you have any moral character left,
and I'm losing all my respect for you. Have j'ou any-
thing to say? "
Mary (very downcast and penitent) : " Miss Jen-
nings, I just went to wash my hands, and had to wait
for several other girls to finish."
Miss J. : "A very poor excuse! Never let this occur
again ! You may go to your seat and sit there for the
rest of the period."
Mary retires.
Miss J. (addressing the whole school) : " Young la-
dies, I am getting up a dictionary class for the benefit
of some of the girls ; and unless you want to join it, you
had better get down to good, steady work. Now, re-
member, girls, you who are on the Self-Regulating
Guild, your deportment counts a great deal, and I
wouldn't like to see you taken off the roll. I have a list
of some girls of whom I am very doubtful, and unless
their behavior shows a marked improvement — well, I
won't say what will happen. You know, girls, there
can be subtraction as well as addition."
Lucy Bonner Cooper ('14).
A Visit to the Man in the Moon
■^m^ HE divan on which I was lying was very com-
\^^ fortable and a favorite place of mine, where
^^"^ I often went to write themes. I was looking
through the window, and my old friend, the moon, was
doing his best to make fairyland of earth. While I
looked (would you believe it?), the man in the moon
winked at me. I never knew him to flirt before, al-
though I had given him many opportunities. He next
smiled and said: " Why don't you come up? "
" I wish I could," I said.
Just then the softest white cloud imaginable floated
to my window. I lighted on its back, and before you
could say "Jack Robinson," I was knocking at the cas-
tle door of Mr. Moon.
At first he teased me and would not open the door.
I was almost ready to cry, when two little moonbeams,
with silver caps, knee trousers, and flowing capes,
threw back two huge, shining doors set with stars.
"Welcome to his royal palace!" sounded from hun-
dreds of voices.
There, in truth, was he whom I had so long admired
at a distance. Slowly he descended the steps of his
throne room, and the little page moonbeams parted
right and left, bowing before him. His trailing, kingly
robes were held by two of the brightest. To a third
he gave his crown, and offered me his arm to conduct
me in person through this wonderful moon castle. In
the distance a chime of silver bells rang out.
" What can that be, Mr. Moon? "
" Why, school, of course. If you care, come to our
seminary and see the girls at work."
My wondering eyes grew larger when the door
opened on this moon chapel. The first classes were be-
ing called. Miss Manier arose, with much dignity, say-
ing : " Before passing to the recitation rooms, I wish
Miss Jennings and Miss Lawrence to report to my desk
at once. I understand they have been to Venus' bakery
and bought angel food and divinity fudge without
Mars' permission. The day pupils will please not go
to the corner for the boarders." She then continued :
"A lecture will be given in chapel to-morrow by Miss
Henrietta Lindsley, which all must attend."
After this, Miss Manier dismissed classes, calling
Rows 1, 2, 3, etc., striking her little silver bell as the
students arose.
We went to the Music room. Miss Johnson was do-
ing her best to bring Dr. Landrith's tenor to harmonize
with Dr. Blanton's deep bass. Miss Ross' high soprano
and Miss Scruggs' contralto were in entirely diff'erent
keys.
Miss Johnson exclaimed : " Now, young ladies and
gentlemen, this inattention and indifference is so dis-
couraging that we will give up this quartet for com-
mencement, and you must report to Miss Manier un-
less you greatly improve."
Feeling sorry for the culprits, we quietly slipped into
Miss Harriet Overton's room.
" To-morrow is theme day," said Miss Overton.
" Miss Thach will have for her subject ' The Telephone
System in Ancient Rome : ' Miss Sheppe, ' The Fourth
Dimension ; ' Miss McDuffie, ' Woman Franchise.' "
In another room Miss Martha Lindsey had her Eng-
lish class.
" Mademoiselle Sansot and Fraulein Reincken," said
Miss Lindsey. " You know we tie a horse to a tree to
make him fast, and then you also beat him to make him
go fast. A board is a body of men who rule, and from
a board we can also make a rule."
" 0, I was enjoying seeing my former taskmasters
pulling up the same hills that I had climbed. I laughed
aloud, jumped — and there was the moon smiling down
at me. Margaret E. Morrow ('15).
After Pope
■ "J^ T was a dire calamity, disastrous, and almost fa-
ll tal to the one concerned. She had left them
right there on the dresser; but now they were
gone, and no amount of scolding would bring them
back. Ten minutes until tea! What would she do?
She had looked for them in every nook and corner of
the room, but her search had been fruitless.
The tea bell now has rung. She is desperate, raging
like an infuriated tigress; but the guilty persons will
not appease her by bringing forth the hidden treasures.
She swears vengeance, and falls exhausted on her bed,
while the other girls trip gayly down the steps to the
dining room.
Soon there comes a light tap at the door, and a sweet
voice says, very tenderly: '* Well, Elizabeth, why were
you not down to tea? "
" 0, Mrs. Blanton," she chokingly sobs, " some one
has hidden my switches ! "
Thus was published at Ward " The Rape of the
Locks," but the culprits were never discovered.
Ora Smith ('14).
Society Column
^^^K N event of great interest to the Athens of the
_A\ South is the marriage of Ward and Bel-
mont, which will unite two Nashville fami-
lies famous in the educational world. When the ap-
proaching marriage was rumored, it was received with
no less surprise than ancient Verona felt at the love of
a Montague for a Capulet. There has been for a long
time great rivalry between the two houses; but now
the followers of the Bro^\^l and the friends of the White
and Gold realize that the marriage will bring increased
prosperity to both parties, and that when the minister
says, " Has any one here a just reason that this mar-
riage should not take place? " no voice will be raised in
protest.
The marriage will take place in the early fall. Al-
though the details are not known, the following items
are gleaned : The bride's dress will be a creation in
white and gold, with her bouquet of iris, while the
groom will wear brown. Dr. Ira Landrith will per-
form the ceremony, and Dr. J. D. Blanton will give the
bride away. The maid of honor will be one who has
been the belle of Ward for some time. Miss Jennings.
The first and second bridesmaids will be Miss Hood
and Miss Heron, and petite Misses Thach and Morrison
will be the flower girls. Beautiful music will be a fea-
ture of the occasion, and a chorus will be led by Mr.
Charles Washburn; while Herr Fritz Schmitz, a very
famous violinist of Nashville, will play a solo.
The bride to be, a very popular Southerner, has al-
read}' received many congratulations and gifts from all
parts of the country. Among the most interesting and
beautiful of the gifts is the magnificent estate of Bel-
mont, where the young couple will make their future
home. It was given by the business associates of her
father. The buildings are reproductions of an Italian
villa, with a park beautified by a lake, fountains, and
shrubbery. Even now the buildings are being en-
larged, remodeled, and perfected, with every modem
comfort and convenience installed. A splendid corps of
caretakers will be selected to aid in the care and direc-
tion of the large estate. The bride and groom's most
ardent wish is that their old friends, as well as many
new ones, will visit them during the coming winter.

Sociological Philosophic Association for the Discussion of
Philanthropic Topics
-^fc»' HIS club was founded in the year nineteen thir-
^^ teen, under the auspices of the Right Hon-
^^"^ orable John Diell Blanton. The primary pur-
pose of this august association is as aforesaid in the
seaquidepal title. This association of " tantamount
rights for ladies " has been the occasion of much au-
maturgical discussion among the zetetic nonbelonging
members of the Guild. Although mere j'ounkers of
this ultramundane Seminary, these vicarious members
have very intellectual physiognomies and quizzical fac-
ulties of brain matter.
Professor Anna Treadwell Blanton, bearing the in-
signia of " General," is truly illustrated above as re-
lieving the fence of Miss Jane Eve Buckner, Miss Kate
Savage, and Miss Mary Mitchell Clay by debates and
more violent modes of persuasion, assisted by Miss
Frances Clay. Miss Elizabeth Cushman and Miss
Elizabeth Crenshavi' are vjvidly portrayed on the oppo-
site side of the fence, with their negative ideas of no
votes for women.

Where the Southern sunlight glistens
On the sweet magnolia trees,
And many a snowy chalice
Flings its fragrance to the breeze.
Across the fields of cotton, We're longing, not for splendor.
With their blooms of pink and white. Nor for mansion's gilded dome;
We can hear the sweet birds singing But for sun-kissed Louisiana,
In the gently fading light. For the State we call our home.

Mars, the Roman god of war, called "Ares " by the
Greeks and " Blanton " in the modern English tongue.
He was a fierce and terrible god, who delighted in the
rush and noise of battle, and from him no kindnesses
were ever expected. Mars was greatly feared, and
human sacrifices were sometimes offered on his altar.
Juno, called " Hera " by the Greeks and "Jennings "
by the English, was queen of the gods. The life of the
queen was not represented by poets as an exceedingly
happy one, for she had many trials to vex her. Much
of her time was of necessity spent in devising punish-
ments for mortal beings. The goose, the cuckoo, and
the peacock were sacred to her.

Ward Examinations Are Over. 'But Are the Girls Over?
^Perfectly Good Men Put in Appearance at the Cotillion Club Dance. H^edding
Invitations Are Very, Very Interesting
J'Vard Notes — Selected from the Tennessean and American
Saturday night was one Big Night — capital
B. The Cotillion Club had a regular, really,
truly dance, with an orchestra, shaded lighte,
frappe, and everything, except men. But
the girls made perfectly good men in their
stiil shirts, high collars, and mustaches.
And no one would ever have guessed (thanks
to the very efficient Decoration Committee)
that the big room, softly lighted, softly
scented, softly musical, was nothing in the
world but the old gym. masquerading. Sev-
eral guests from the outside world added to
the pleasure and helped to make this one of
the events of the year. We're hoping that
the pictures Mr. Wiles took will be good.
Query: How do men carry their pumps
wQen they are on their way to dances? One
masculine (?) member of the Cotillion Club
strolled in with her pumps in a most gor-
geous pink satin slipper bag; another carried
hers carefully wrapped in the comic section
of a Sunday Tennessean and American; while
a third, disdaining these feminine tactics, ar-
rived with the black satin toes of her slip-
pers sticking out of her coat pocket.
The names of the girls on the Self-Govern-
ment Guild have been read out, announced,
and posted. They are supposed to be the
cream of the entire school body. We, edi-
torially speaking (Ward Place), have never
particularly cared for the name "Guild;"
but, perhaps, the fortunate few in it will
be so superlatively all that they are supposed
to be that the name will be — well, sub-
merged.
The Ryman Auditorium was certainly
dressed up in its best bib and tucker for the
festivities Monday. The Governor of Ten-
nessee was properly inaugurated, for the
Ward girls were among those present to see
it well done. They formed a long line, if
not an extraordinarily impressive one be-
cause of its motley array. There were girls
in uniforms and girls in sweaters: there
-were girls in fur coats and girls in slickers;
there were day pupils and boarders. By the
way, what is the correct inaugural costume?
Exams, are over. Whether we are over or
not remains to be seen. At any rate, we
are beginning to breathe regularly again.
Exams, are enough to knock the breath out
of the best athlete. We've decided they are
a peculiar and painful form of punishment
that ought to have been abolished along with
the pillory and torture racks.
The circus was not " pulled off " in the big
tent as announced last Tuesday, for the per-
fectly good reason that the weather man
ivouhl let it rain. However, it happened in
Study Hall, and was truly exciting, with
clowns, juvenile ballet dancers, tight-rope
walkers, a performing monkey that stood
on her — no, its — head, and a giraffe, a char-
iot race, a balloon ascension, a band, peanuts
and pink lemonade, and " then some." At
last came the climax — a take off on the mem-
bers of the faculty. They were all so well
done that nobody was unrecognized. If the
teachers didn't care to see themselves as
others saw them, they were too polite to
say so.
Permission — and tickets — to see " The
Trail of the LiOnesome Pine " have been
given to all Ward girls soliciting such per-
mission and such tickets. But, as we aren't
going until Thursday night, and as the
Tennessean and American insists on having
" Notes " in by Thursday noon, we really
cannot say, "What a good time we had!"
However, on the strength of the book and of
our pocketbook, we have invested in the
very same kind of lucky stones that June
has. They are fascinating things to ■wear
around one's neck.
Riley Jarrett. who has been the friend and
foe (but more often the friend) of every
Ward girl for the past twenty-five years, in
the capacity of house boy, butler, package
carrier, and ringer of rising bells, has left
to take a job with the Y. W. C. A.
Miss Gattinger took some of the girls of
her art class to a large printing ofSce a few
days ago to be instructed in book binding,
etc. Calling cards, announcement cards,
invitation cards, etc., were duly inspected;
but when the wedding invitations were
brought out, they were enthusiastically in-
spected. Now the rest of the art class wants
to go to that printing company.
Ward Sonsrs
We want to be, we want to be, we want to be right back at Ward,
Where the girls are always glad to be, at dear old Ward, in Tennessee.
You ought to see, you ought to see, you ought to see our home next year.
You can tell the world we are going to
W-A-R-D — we know how to spell it;
And we're going — O, yes, we're going
TO WARD, IN TENNESSEE!
Oopla, oopla, oopla, aery!
We're the girls of Ward Seminary!
Quack, quack, quack, quack, quack, quack!
ward:
We're coming, we're coming ("Old Black Joe").
Tramp, tramp, tramp, the girls are coming (" Tramp ")
To Ward. Ward, from everywhere.
Soon we will be moving to our home out on Church Street ("John Brown's Body ") ;
Soon we will be near to you, dear old 'Vanderbilt.
For we all come here to the land of cotton (" Dixie ") ;
Good times here are not forgotten.
Come to Ward, come to Ward,
Come to Ward, come to —

For there's no place like Ward, girls ("Home, Sweet Home").
For we're the happiest ducks in town ("Yankee Doodle"),
Because we come from Ward, Ward.
WARD-BELMONT
PROPOSED NEW RUILDINGS OF WARD-BELMONT
PRESENT BUILDINGS AND PART OF THE CAMPUS OF WARD-BELMONT
Appreciation and Anticipation
W
kARD SEMINARY was not born to die.
Just when niiser Mars had sated his greed
for both Southern blood and treasure, and
when, the flower of her manhood slain, the South had
not where to train the flower of her young maidenhood,
Ward Seminary for Young Ladies was conceived and
begun by the great-souled man and woman whose name
the school immortalizes and will forever honor.
Through many a year of beautiful devotion Dr. and
Mrs. W. E. Ward wrought themselves into the fine,
high character of the young woinen and girls of Nash-
ville and the Southland until God took the workers and»
blessed with eternal life their work.
Then came others to the leadership, others who did
what they could, and left the work in 1892 to be com-
pleted by those who have proved to be the very elect of
the Lord for the task tremendous. For two toilsome
decades of sacrifice and service, and amid difficulties so
numerous and so great that, before them, the less true
and stout-hearted would have quailed and quit. Dr.
and Mrs. John Diell Blanton carried on and out and
up the cause of Christian culture for young women,
winning the confidence of everybody the while. Pat-
rons believed in them because of the womanhood into
which girlhood was helped by them to grow ; the com-
munity's faith was complete because the more-than-acid
test of twenty years had discovered no sham and no
lack of sincerity and integrity ; and educators gave
their allegiance because the President and his wife
made no extravagant claim which the school could not
meet, and because the things which the school an-
nounced that it could do were done so well that higher
institutions of learning could accept it with no fear of
having to undo it or to do it over.
What a story, fully written,' would be the forty-eight
years of Ward Seminary's ministry, and of the share
these four powerful personalities had in this minis-
try— Dr. and Mrs. Ward, whose labors have ended in
the Master's " Well done," and Dr. and Mrs. Blanton,
whose contribution to the four-square education of
young women, we all pray, may be only just fairly be-
gun ! Men and women nowadays are being valued at
their true worth to other people, and not by any arti-
ficial commercial tables of weights and measures. What
a man is in dependableness, and what he does in un-
selfishness, and what he prepares and inspires others
to do in ways that are good and lofty and great — this
is the true present-day test of greatness ; and by that
test we are dwelling here on the names of the really
great, and thousands of women all over the land will
confirm this judgment.
But there are others of whom we ara thinking with
loving-kindness as we approach Wai'd's first " moving
day " for more than a generation — teachers true and
self-forgetting, who threw in the best they had of tal-
ents and toil that the treasury of good work done hei-e
might be filled. How much Ward Seminary and her
daughters dear owe to these great teachers, some of the
first and most deserving of whom have remained ! It
cannot be thought invidious if the name of Miss Bell
Jennings is inscribed here as representative of all the
rest of the best. God grant a cloudless afternoon and
glorious eventide to the beautiful day throughout the
heat and burden of which she has been a benediction to
us all.
" Old Ward Seminary," giizzled old pile, thou hast
well fulfilled thy mission ; yet we turn away from thee
with a sigh, even though we go to a new and larger
and lovelier home, and to dwell and labor with friends
as faithful as the old ones have been, and to enter upon
a career in all ways greater than could ever have been
possible in our - now commerce-crowded and urban-
invaded dwelling place. Sorrows and .ioys alike have
sanctified these halls and rooms. Success and failure
have striven together here, and success has won. Out
from here to the real greatness of usefulness, multitudes
have marched into, and many of them through, the
world's larger life toward eternity's full existence. The
daughters, and in later years the granddaughters, of
Ward's earlier students have come to the same scenes
hallowed in the memory of their mothers. It is not
easy to abandon the old, old home. It would not be
creditable to us if it were easy. Those of us who have
lived a while beyond the impetuosity and quick deci-
sions of youth have been rather pleased than otherwise
with the disappointments which students in both
schools at first suffered over the changes, even though
every change plainly presaged improvement and uni-
versal advantage. Time has already healed these
hurts, and we shall forget in our growing love for the
better new our natural melancholy over surrendering
the cherished, but outgrown, old home.
Buildings, old or new, are but the temporal bodies
for the indwelling of the spirit, which is the real school.
Into Ward-Belmont enters to live forever this eternal
personality which we call "Ward Seminary;'^ and
with Ward Seminary into Ward-Belmont will go not
only many of the people who helped the school to great-
ness, but also the faith and loyalty of evety worthy
daughter and of every genuine friend Ward has on
earth; for on September 25^ 1913, Ward-Belmont will
open the forty-ninth year of Ward Seminary for Young-
Ladies. Ira Landeith. ,

Music is one of the fine arts; to express
it, your piano must be a work of art.
Why attempt musical expression without a piano that responds to your every mood
and feeling?
STARR PIANOS are works of art, conceived in an atmosphere of art; wrought by
artist workmen — owned and loved by the leading musicians of the world.
